    Summary

    Obviously Matt’s aware that Jay looks good in a suit. It’s more something about the way he holds himself, still and straight, self possessed. That's not a Jay posture. It’s the weirdest thing, it makes Matt feel almost starstruck – so much so that when their eyes catch, it punches the breath out of him. There’s Jay, regular, but there’s someone else too, also Jay. That's when it catches up.

    Maddy and her friend think Jay is his boyfriend. That word, boyfriend, crashes into his head so hard that for a split second he’s afraid he said it out loud. Earlier, Jules asked how long have you two been… and Matt, assuming he knew the end of the question, said since we were like 12 or something. Jay heard that happen. Not only that, he played along. They grinned at each other conspiratorially about it.

    The only reason Matt would ever go to a family wedding is if he and Jay could get a show at The Rivoli out of it. The plan: Play the wedding, bring the house down, and get his cousin and her friends to book them for an after party. The part where they pretend to be a couple, threatening decades of load-bearing repression, comes out of nowhere – at least for Matt, it does.

    Summary

    “I met a dental hygienist that was wearing a dog collar when we first got here, we danced and then he gave me a mint from a little baggy. It made sense that he’d carry those around, but then…” He just shrugs.
    “Oh, Birdie,” He laughs, but it’s desperate, like a cry for help from the bottom of a well. “Was it - minty?” His voice sounds three octaves too high.
    “I couldn’t tell. It’s so loud in here.”

    ---

    Matt and Jay plan to enthrall the Rivoli’s new booking agent at a gay club. Jay accidentally takes ecstasy thinking it's a breath mint, and Matt is subjected to torments previously unique to the trenches of WWI. It's going to be a long, long night.

    Summary

    In the throes of temporary blindness, Matt asks Jay for some help. Jay obliges, after a fashion.

    "This is a trick," Jay says, wrenching his sleeve out of Matt's hand and crossing his arms. "You're just, uh, trying to get me to touch your dick so you can call me gay. I bet you don't even have to pee."

    "You're gonna find out how bad I need to pee in a second," Matt says, oddly threateningly.

    Summary

    Jay wants to be somewhere else, back home with the space heater at his feet. The stadium is miserable, his chair is hard and small, and his lower-back pain is flaring. He's relieved that he was able to convince Matt against more hamburgers, narrowly escaping a pickle-flavored kiss. Speaking of, Jay watches the couple on the big screen smile and wave goodbye, replaced by a bright advertisement for concessions.

    "We might be next!" Matt says, turning his head close to yell in Jay's ear.

    What if Matt didn't eat all those Wahlburgers?

    OR: How CoverBand!Matt beat death and got his Jay back.

    “It’s nice to be Bird again.”

    “Aw,” Matt says affectionately. “Kinda homo.” 

    “C’mon, Matt, it’s 2026,” Jay protests, clearly bristling. 

    “Exactly! It’s 2026! Can’t a man call his old friend a bit of a homo in peace?”

    “It’s just that you’re ruining the, the nice moment,” Jay shoots back, his voice hitting a whiny pitch.

    Summary

    (Jay asks Matt to help him take photos for an online dating profile.)

    “Show me. I wanna see what you do to them. You never tell me when I ask.” Matt is petulant and commanding all at once, in a way that he and only he could balance.

    This is officially a record-breaking new level of gay chicken. Someone should alert Guinness.

    Summary

    "I'm from the future," Jay says at last.

    That's not possible, is Matt's first thought but he clamps down on it because this is Jay, and Jay is wandering Spadina, and Jay is also here in his room. So. Something impossible is now possible and it may as well be time travel.

    "You're a time traveller." Matt giggles. "Holy shit. Holy shit. How did you—? No, never mind that, what am I thinking. Do you have a sports almanac on you? Any winning lotto numbers?"

    Summary

    Oh, no. Oh, fuck, no — it couldn’t be. Memories flashed, mockingly: Pete calling Matt his girlfriend, Jay watching red-haired Peanuts girl walk out after Matt popped out of the closet, how good it felt to make Matt admit he’d do anything to keep Jay around — the feeling that he got when he looked at Matt, when Matt offered to get him dinner, like they were a married couple or something — like they’d lived together for years, which they had — oh, fuck. It couldn’t be Matt. Anyone but Matt.

    “So, like.” Matt grimaced. Jay had been staring at him for kind of a while. “I’m kind of just holding this water, here, and—”

    “I think I’m in love with you,” said Jay.

    -

    An old friend tries to separate Matt and Jay. They end up closer together than ever.

    Summary

    Look, it’s not like Matt’s never overheard Jay jerking off. But there’s sort of a significant distance between forgetting to knock on a bedroom door and where he’s at now, which is in the bottom bunk at what feels like three am, sweaty from a nightmare about being forcefed burgers and slowly realizing that what he’s hearing above him isn’t Jay also having a bad dream. Seems like Jay’s having a pretty good dream up there, actually.

    “How are you gonna make it up to me–”
    “Come on, man, I–"
    “Like, are you gonna suck my fucking dick about it?”
    As soon as the question is out, Jay snaps his jaw shut so hard it makes an audible click.

    Always a good sign to be bookmarking a fic halfway through it. Perfect 7-year-gap fic, just the right amount of friction and painfully realistic characterization.

    Summary

    It's a long story but here's the quick and dirty version: they have to convince pretty much the whole-ass Kamurocho criminal underworld they're in love and other than two very specific people nobody, absolutely fucking nobody, can know it’s just a bit till the job is done.

    You want the long version, including the part where this whole dumb stunt was Majima’s idea? Kiryu kind of insists that it be made real nice and clear that this was, in fact, Majima’s stupid idea and he just went along with it because he didn’t know what the hell else to try. Which, y’know. Fair enough.

    [In which Majima and Kiryu pretend to be a Thing for family business reasons. With these two, this is easier said than done.]

    OOF I am a sucker for a pretend relationship fic and had no idea how it would work ina Kiryu/Majima setting but BOY HOWDY this sure does pull it off. Juuuust the right amount of slow burn, so nicely characterized, and also way more Yakuza-infighting-drama-plot than I was expecting or deserved. Such a good time ♥️

    On one hand, Kiryu was a fucking sight. Okinawa agreed with him and he looked tan and thick and happy.

    On the other hand, he was wearing a floral print shirt and khakis.

    These two thoughts warred for dominance in Majima as Kiryu stopped at the edge of the porch and squinted at him.

    Kiryu said, “I’ve never seen you wearing a shirt.”

    What have I done to myself reading this the day I start playing Yakuza 3, just guaranteeing that this is always going to be playing out in the back of my head as I wander the streets and beaches of Okinawa. 🖤 Lovely little slice of reluctant domesticity.

    Summary

    Kiryu's tired of having people get hurt on his behalf. Even the cries of the Devil himself would give him pause, so when a foreign mafia squad kidnaps Majima to lure him in, what choice does he have? This is his responsibility, no matter who disagrees with him.

    Unfortunately, this favor becomes a little more than he'd bargained on.
